Laid Off yesterday

Was wrapping up my monthly and quarterly project final reports at the end of the day, and my office manager asked me to come to his office for a quick meeting. I thought nothing of it as its pretty routine to do so...to talk about the financial health of various projects, revene, earned value etc.

Took my notes in there with me, then he says "well, I wish this was a meeting for good news , but it's not unfortunately". Handed me a termination letter and we talked for a good 45 minutes.

The layoff wasn't performance related, but rather a result of us not getting awarded several new contracts as anticipated etc. so corporate, in Virginia, started making decisions.

Good news, I suppose, was he said he will write a recommendation letter, or speak to anyone about my work. Also he said he was confident a lot of our Project Managers I supported would do so as well.

He said he appreciated my attitude on the situation. I wrapped up a few loos ends for my PMs before o left. Luckily, I get two weeks severance. Not a lot, but Better than nothing. When I was laid off in 2008, I didn't get jack. And that sucked.

I guess it's the nature of the beast in a project based environment.
Oh well. Happy Friday the 13th for me. Uhhhg.

Anyone know of anyone in need of a project controller?

A bunch of unneeded stress is a huge fricken bummer in ones life. Hopefully something bigger & better comes of it.

Christ, we need MORE of your jobs. Ever been between St. Joe and the Iowa state line on I-29? You have dick for cellphone reception there. Same in Central Mo.

Sounds like you've got a bit of a Jack of All Trades thing going on.

Sorry to hear about your current situation. Hope things get right for you soon.
Do you have a degree? The reason I am asking is because some of those jobs sound a lot like things I will be doing when I get my degree in Business Finance.
